I machine stitched the leaves with just a line of stitching down the center - I wanted them to lift up at the edges.
This time I added a few beads to the back of the gecko.
I really like the postage stamp border on this piece - it was simple, fun to do and easy to quilt.
So that is my finish for the week.

Wishing you all a great weekend. See you all next time.

I prepared this post last night and low and behold this morning we have brilliant sunshine - so here's a few extra shots.
